Elisio & Lori Farris
Lori and Efisio met in New York City. Efisio was visiting from Sardegna, Italy, and Lori, a native of Chicago, was working in Manhattan. While they were dating, they started managing a restaurant on the west side in N YC. After a year passed, an exciting opportunity came up in Dallas, Texas. In February of 1988, they packed all of their belongings into a trailer and moved to Texas. After the 36 hour drive, they started immediately on construction of their new venue, formerly an oyster bar.

They named their restaurant “Pomodoro” --- Italian for tomato. The kitchenÃs authentic cuisine from Tuscany and Sardinia would bring many firsts to Dallas. Italian traditions such as Bruschetta, Bresaola, Buffalo Mozzarella, Bottarga, Carpaccio, and Gnocchetti Sardi made their debut in Texas.

The restaurant opened on April 21, 1988 and the reception of the Dallas community and visitors from afar has been incredibly supportive. Lori and Efisio believed that the best advertising should be based on successful word of mouth, which has been proven time and time again and they are eternally grateful to the loyal Pomodoro regulars.
